In that case, why don't you just use the reference card image to set WB in RAW post-processing, apply the white balance settings to all images under the same lighting, and forget about pre-sets altogether? This is what I used to do with my KM A200 RAW. Whenever there is change in lighting, I take one shot with WhiBal card. Then in post processing, I use WB Click white on the card. Copy WB settings, and paste it to subsequent images. This is accurate and much more flexible than pre-sets. As you can shoot in any number of lighting condition, and not limited to the number of pre-sets. -- --Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence -- --Tungsten T3 Enhanced DIA Keyboard----Nokia Ringtone Convertor-- -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
